    friend slices he/she ate

    A 0

    B 1

    C 3

    D 4

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's try to solve this problem by trial and error. First guess:

    friend slices he/she ate

    A 1

    B 2

    C 3

    D 4

    is incorrect because that gives a total of 10 slices. Then, one friend ate 0 slices. Therefore the options are: {0,1,2,3}, {0,2,3,4}, {0,1,3,4}. Nobody ate more than 4 slices because the criteria " no friend ate more than the other three put together" will not be satisfied. Only the last option satisfy the 8 slice criteria.
